Recent Abstractions

Abstraction based on both macro and micro aspects of landscape act as a theme which has always been a part of my output. Sometimes coming out of considered ideas, at other times a process concerned solely with production, and sometimes a touchstone for exploring ideas that might feed into other, larger more measured pieces of work.

Process of Becoming

Ideas, feelings, emotions, levels of awareness drift and flow, emerge and recede. Movement, stillness, juxtaposition of marks, colour and sense of form, suggest an assembling, transition or breaking apart. An evolution of process reveals a difference, a change, or a similarity; it is within the dynamic tension of process that an awareness of something emerging, evolving, passing through or becoming, can begin to take shape.

A Liminal Space

A place that exists between conscious and unconscious worlds: A place where seconds and years have the same or no value: A place where everything or nothing is synchronised: A place between beginning and end: A place of stability and transition

Artist Statement

My art is concerned with creating images which manifest an awareness of human presence in, and perception of, a physical world. How is it that one thing stands out against another, why is one thing more important than another?
